The story behind the bottle.
Rude Cherry, created by Shadi Samra and launched in 2025 by Fragrance Du Bois, is a bold and provocative Oriental Woody fragrance for both women and men. The composition opens with the bright, almost tart burst of cherry, which contrasts sharply with the rich warmth of oud. This juxtaposition creates an intriguing tension that evolves into a complex interplay of sweet almond, saffron, vetiver, rose, ambergris, vanilla, and musk. The result is a fragrance that feels both daringly modern and deeply rooted in tradition.
Apply Rude Cherry with confidence — it blooms gradually over time. The initial burst of cherry fades quickly, making way for the deeper notes of oud and ambergris to shine. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the night.
